Average foreign spy agencies kill people so this is pretty mild.

Won what? Unemployment is rampant, their real estate is in a state of crisis the west has never experienced and it looks like they‘re preparing for war as well. And with everything we‘ve learned about Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine that likely won‘t go in China‘s favor either.

This article on the other hand is just the weekly „China is decades ahead!“ fluff piece that will likely be forgotten this time next week after actual scientists had a look at it and found some plot holes in the story. Be it about the revolutionary nature of it or physical properties.

It’s not even true. Because it was definitely NOT in the company‘s best interest to smuggle hardware to China. He just enabled future competitors with that move and broke the law. He also did not have to cozy up to the orange turd to keep Nvidia afloat.

What I‘m trying to say is: He definitely did not always had Nvidia‘s interests in mind so why try to make that argument there? It‘s just dishonest.

Besides „the law says the company must make money“ does not absolve anyone for acting morally wrong. That way of thinking is why so many things are messed up right now.

Jup but it‘s easier to imagine what comes after the apocalypse than it is to imagine what comes after capitalism for those people. They don‘t see that the system is rigged or that CEOs of big corporations do their jobs knowing that because they are shit bags.

X for doubt. The dude was essentially swept away by the blue tsunami. The timing is not a coincidence.

Why aren‘t workers happy about new means of production that they don‘t own? Are you serious?

Oh yeah then where are the other parts of the Gilgamesh saga? Check mate big slate.

Moving away from floppy discs in 2026 is moving fast and breaking things? Peak Lemmy moment.

He says that while Microsoft doesn‘t even grant some people basic human rights by the way.

Sometimes they can‘t even get the rights to some localized anime so they either re-dub the entire thing or just upload it without a dub. The whole IP mess that has been created decades ago really comes back to bite them in the ass big time with shows like One Piece. The only way to watch it properly in some countries are unofficial ways.

You can buy Scrubs on DVD and Blu-Ray. It‘s not a Netflix exclusive thing. I don‘t even know if it ever was on Netflix in my region to be honest. Just saying, because I think your example is off.

I don‘t think it‘s that wild. You could of course compare it to asbestos instead. Another „tool“ in our arsenal of things that are the best in their field but most countries have decided not to use them over other concerns.

Pretty much. It‘s a really shitty situation and it would be better if the world decided to not use them and sanction them. A bit like nuclear weapons that are also far more effective than alternatives but too destruktive to seriously consider. For now, many developers are doomed to use LLMs for security reasons. Because LLMs are not just a tool. They are an entire production line at the grasp of your hand. Just using complex architecture to obscure risks doesn‘t cut it anymore.

Pretty sure you can‘t do that in the EU. Your boss is not even allowed to give AI details about you or consult it about you. The thought that Anthropic wants Claude to become your supervisor is deranged and dystopian.

Sure. Let media outlets owned by the rich fight tech companies owned by other rich people. Doubt it changes anything though.

It‘s ridiculous. They claim they actually have a shortage of highly skilled developers and that‘s supposedly why they‘re focusing so hard on vibe coding. But this whole re-interviewing thing would just have made their actual problem of a toxic work environment of fear and shaming even worse. Who would want to work there? Not someone who has the privilege to choose. They needed to get rid of that CEO yesterday.

Political censorship is definitely worse so I‘m not going to bother.

Roblox really seems to be the end boss of evil game companies. The competition is certainly steep but they never cease to amaze me with how low they‘re willing to go for a few bucks more.

I’m not sure that narrative makes sense. There wasn‘t really a thing it was opposed to in most cases. Not that I‘m aware of. There simply wasn‘t a licensed platform for Anime other than the few shows on less than a hand full TV channels, mostly at night. Early anime fansub sites simply did what anime studios or TV networks didn‘t care to do: Localizing a wide variety of Anime in the first place.

And I‘m sure Chinese data centers are very happy about it.
